PW Arms' Panzer M4 Tactical SA is a gas-operated 12 gauge semi-automatic finished in Desert Cerakote with a synthetic skeleton stock. The 18.5-inch barrel has a 3-inch chamber for 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells, capacity is 5+1, weight 8.2 pounds and overall length 40 inches. Ghost ring sights are fitted, a top rail takes an optic, and a manual safety is standard.

A tube-fed 5+1 semi-automatic like this fits a New Jersey owner who wants one shotgun for both the range and the house. The state treats 12 gauge as a deer gauge, but its three-shell limit means the tube must be restricted before the December Six-Day Firearm season; most Panzer owners will leave it set up as the defensive gun it is sold as. The ghost rings are quick at close range, the rail is there if you prefer a dot, and the Desert Cerakote covers the metalwork.
